IMPROVEMENT IN FlNlNG-SHAVINGS FOR BEER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 216,868, dated June 24, 1879; application filed February 5, 1879.

To alt whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST LACHENMEYER, of Narrowsburg, in the county of Sullivan, State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fining-Shavings for Beer, which is fully set forth in the following specification.

My invention relates to that art which ha for its object the clearing or fining of beer of particles of yeast and other impurities; and

it consists in taking thin sheets or veneers of maple, birch, beech, or hazelwood, or other similar wood free from gum or resin, of any convenient size, and soaking them in dissolved isinglass orother similar beer-fining ingredients.

These soaked veneers are thrown into the beer-vat. The diluted isinglass covers the veneers with an adhesive coating, and when the said veneers are thrown into the vat the particles in the beer mostly composed of the yeast will deposit themselves on the coated This specification signed this 18th day of- November, 1878.
